The objective of the survey was to understand uses of and concerns about available livestock-related data and indicators. The multiple choice questionnaire was submitted to 189 stakeholders, to which 57 or about 30 percent responded. Almost 88 percent of respondents make use of district level data, which are produced by local governments, followed by national level data (79 percent), usually disseminated either by Uganda bureau of statistics (UBOS) or by Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries (MAAIF). About 71 percent of the respondents use household level data, which are largely, produced by UBOS, for example though the administration of the national panel survey. Stakeholders make use of livestock data for a variety of purposes, including defining their work program and budget; writing annual and quarterly reports; research and analysis; policy formulation; project formulation; and for advocacy purposes.
